His nickname is "Billy" and had one career year where he hit a lot of homers and signed a substantial multi-year contract. He wasn't given a squat roster spot like Lowell or Wakefield, though, because Fenway Park fans don't look like Bill Hall and don't identify with him. They loves Tim Wastefield, though.

You are blind if you can't infer the tone of his posts. He pretends to be objective, but the numbers he uses and the way he phrases his posts is more than enough to figure out his actual opinion. Not as objective as he thinks he is.

When did I ever say he or anyone else was "objective"?

Someone wrote the Ellsbury had the best OBP of any leadoff hitter. OBP is not an opinion. OBP is a verifiable stat. I said, "this time" Hill was merely just correcting false numbers. I never said he didn't have other motives or a subjective slant at times: we all do.

If someone uses numbers to make a point, and the numbers are wrong. I don't see anything bad about trying to correct it. From what I know about Hill, he has" corrected numbers" that agree with his positions as well. He may not like certain players as much as others, but I think that is because they have not lived up to his standards or expectations. At least he is consistent with what numbers he uses and doesn't cherry-pick or move the goalposts constantly.
